Yup i've haven't been ignoring the DQVC since this week DQVC got me some Sainted Soma from there which i was finally able to make me an Agate of Evolution. Though i wonder what next weeks will be?

Oh and my highest level Treasure Map is Lv. 78 Sapphire Maze of Regret (It's a Ruin Type grotto completed) Followed by a Lv. 75 Gold Tundra of Death, and Lv. 69 Silver Crypt of Woe which i received from quest 58

But i did get a crappy map called Platinum Path of Joy Lv. 36 the other day. But i do have three others that i need to start on and they're all crypt type grottoes/One at Lv. 61, one at Lv 70, and the other Lv 77. Before i've started revocating.

Sometimes your highest level maps won't always be your best, treasure-wise. I have a level 88 map that has much better treasure than any of my level 99 maps.

Funny because there's a thread about this here, but if you're trying to get yourself a good treasure map, I'd recommend notetaking. Write down which chests give you what rank of treasure (the sticky on GameFAQs is excellent on telling you how to determine chest rank) as well as the floor and general location (IE "near exit, B8" or "top right, B12").

Finished this game last week in about 70 hours and started the post game. Unfortunately, it seems the post game mostly involves "dungeon" diving into the Grottos to grind for rare drops. Doesn't seem too appealing to me.

Overall the game was a blast, even if it couldn't match the awesomeness of DQ8

I'm stuck somewhere in DQ IV. I was playing regularly (finished the point where harry gets kicked out of the castle) and then put it down for a few months. Now I have no idea where to go. Went to every available town and talked to every NPC i could find.

I just got this game on Monday and have already dropped some serious time into it (~20 hours). I'm not sure if I'm going to go for a 100% completion rate on everything, but I do plan on spending a lot of time doing "extra" stuff. This makes me incredibly nostalgic for my first few RPG experiences, when everything felt so big and open. For the most part, DQIX nails it. the first few hours weren't exactly gripping, but that's about my only complaint. Oh, and the menus are slow when you're trying to sell stuff.

And yeah, 50,000 gold is nothing. I have 45,000, and that's after I died fighting Equinox and lost half of it.
